Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: 2009 Events

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

2009 Events

First task was to look at my 2009 events (see list on the right). Not sure they are all achievable yet (the Vitruvian is certainly vulnerable) but we shall see. Cycling is the number one priority this year so swimming and running are definitely taking a back seat so not sure a middle distance race is a good idea. Am looking forward to getting involved with more TTs and also the training required to improve - I aim to love my bike this year.

Just stumbled across your blog. I’m currently making a turbo training website which allows people to upload plans and play them using an online timer.

I'm pretty sure you will make that up on the swim alone, asuming the Japanese haven't harpooned me before I get onto the bike. Yep, still struggling with the weight, and the weather since I've arrived back in the UK hasn't helped - it's a struggle just to get out of bed.; 10 February 2009 at 21:30
Turbo Man said...: Just looked at the map - Rutland Water is a loooong way from Gosport. I think I will give the Vitruvian a miss this year.; 12 February 2009 at 08:26
